Cymaharmonium
Cymaharmonium
Functional Art | Cymatics Installation.
The Cymaharmonium is a one-of-a-kind, sound sculpture, where sacred geometry, cymatics, and fine craftmanship converge in a transformative interactive art experience. Handcrafted with precision and gilded in 23.5ct gold, this is not just furniture or sculpture, but a ceremonial instrument for exploring the unseen harmonies of the universe.
Evolved from my Golden Water Gong (2014–2024), the Cymaharmonium invites viewers to strike a 26-inch horizontal gong and witness the cymatics rippling geometric patterns emerge in water. These shimmering cymatic forms reveal the language of vibration—an ancient and universal force that bridges art & science.
The Cymaharmonium has enchanted over 100,000 people across major festivals and conferences in the UK, Europe & NZ, including Breaking Convention, Medicine Festival, and Noisily Festival. Each iteration has been refined with community input, shaping a design that supports both individual introspection and collective ceremony.
This full-size version features a hand-crafted circular table with adjustable, collapsible legs—suitable for floor-seated rituals or standing use indoors or out. Beyond its sculptural presence, it serves as a powerful tool in fields such as sound healing, art therapy, acoustic research, energy work, and spiritual practice.
The Golden Water Gong and Cymaharmonium are functional works of art by artist and designer Rachael Linton. The Cymaharmonium reveals the profound connection between sound, vibration, and the natural world.
It showcases the transformative power of cymatics, when you strike the horizontally mounted 26-inch gong with a mallet, the force creates mesmerising geometric patterns on the surface of
the water. The Cymaharmonium is a thought-provoking work of art.
Since 2014, the Golden Water Gong has enchanted 100,000 individuals with its immersive experience. It has been exhibited at numerous festivals and conferences in the UK and Portugal since 2017, including prestigious events like Breaking Convention, Medicine Festival, and Noisily Festival. The artist has gained valuable user feedback to refine its design with each exhibition. The installation encourages active participation, inviting visitors to create unique sonic signatures by striking the gong, playing musical instruments or vocalising through it.
Crafted with care and gilded with genuine 23.5ct gold, the new Cymaharmonium gong hangs within a hand-crafted wooden table. Precious metals have been selected for their radiant and lustrous properties, capable of refracting light in profound and illuminating ways. The circular table has folding height-adjustable legs for easy transport and placement, for seated ceremony or standing height, indoors or outdoors.
Artist Rachael Linton continues to expand the reach of the Golden Water Gong and Cymaharmonium by training artists and practitioners in art therapy, sound healing, and energy
work in the artworks use. This project is a harmonisation of design & technology to enrich the human experience by inspiring transformative journeys into cymatics, a sonic wonderland.
